Jewel Master

It's the first game I ever bought for my Genny (the day after Christmas '92). To this day I've never beaten it. I always die at the same boss. Though I haven't given it a try in about six years.

Jewel Master, Alisia Dragoon, Chakan the Forever Man, Adventures of Batman & Robin for sure, Contra Hardcorps definitely, Gaiares (mainly because it bores the crap out of me) pretty much sum up my list. I returned Jewel Master when I bought it back in the day, totally not appreciating the excellent design at the time and being a typical kid who just wanted "more Shinobi". I picked it up in recent years and see it as a quality title, but I just haven't been convinced to put the time into it yet.

Alisia Dragoon I borrowed from a friend, who loved it to death, and just couldn't get into it. I thought it looked too "first gen" and didn't give it a chance. I picked Alisia Dragoon in recent years and haven't played past the first level since.

Chakan, Adventures of Batman & Robin, Contra Hard Corps and Gaiares were all rentals for me back in the day that failed to sell themselves. I thought they were awesome, rented them multiple times, but never could get very far in them.

Revenge of Shinobi

Tried time and time again, I can't complete it.

Castlevania on the NES! I remember that time I beat the grim reaper AND THEN I DIED AT THE EXACT SAME TIME! That was the closest I've made it to beating the game.

[oldskool]

Just about all these games that have been mentioned above. Castlevania on the NES (although I have not REALLY tried to beat it for years). CHAKAN!! DAMN YOU!!

Gaiares and Target Earth. Only way for me to beat these games was to use cheats.

[Bastardcat]

Audiosurf.
That game is some trippy shit!

[Ghost Soldier]

Toejam and Earl
Sonic 2
Streets of Rage 2

Some of my favorites that I have never beaten.

[villahed94]

For me Bart`s Nightmare, and Aladdin.

Haven't been able to beat the last boss in Shadow Dancer yet

[Mr Smith]

Revenge of Shinobi

Tried time and time again, I can't complete it.

I found three major difficulties with RoS:

• The uber jump in 7-1
• The massive jump in 8-1
• The labyrinth of 8-2

Which one stumped you?

I used to find Kid Chameleon would compel me to try and complete it. Then, when I was a grown up, I did. My awesome cannot be stopped, in spite of the Final Marthon giving it a good go.

Fatal Rewind, from my memory I managed to go to the last level without finish it.

Alisia Dragoon is a great Genesis game imho, I finished it during my teenage days
but the last time I had tried to do the same, I died in near the end
(when you must jump on strange geometric platforms).

Try screaming at the top of your lungs every time you die. That's how I muscled through that cruel bastard.

[cyberguile]

contra hardcops is really easy when you master the wolf's bug.
I remember back in the days, I borrowed it from a friend and it took me 6 months to finish it.
I called my friend to tell him I finally beat the m***** game and he told something like "what took you so long ??? the game is damn easy !".
Next day, he shows me the wolf's bug and I was like O______O
But when he realised I had finished the game with another character, he was like O_____O
Haha, good old times.

My worst game was phantasy star II
Used the hint book too much so when I arrived against Darfalz (or whatever) for the first time, I lasted 10 seconds hahaha
Can't remember how long I had to level up before being to kill him (with a lot of luck !), but it took a LOT of time
